Aviela Is 4 Months Old!





Aviela is getting so old!  She is a lot bigger to me this month than she has been before.  I feel like she really hit a growth spurt.  Avi has been such a happy baby.  The only issue we have is about her eating.  She isn't really interested in eating.  This last month she got all bottles and she would only take 4oz at a time and that was with me making her eat the last two ounces of each bottle.  She will rarely take a 5oz bottle.  That means that in a day she is only getting about 20 ounces in bottles and probably about 4 more in the middle of the night.

One other issue we have had is that after she has her middle of the night feed, she doesn't really go back to sleep and fusses from about 3:00am on!  Her eyes are actually closed but she isn't very happy.  She eventually falls back to sleep around 6:30am but that is brief because Zuri is usually up and wake us all up.

I have had to wake her from her morning naps because we are trying to get in a certain about of feedings in a day since she isn't getting many ounces.  She lays down around 9:30 and if she is not up by 12:30 I wake her to have her eat.  Afternoon naps are hit and miss.

Her stats for 4 months:
12 lbs 1oz (although we weighed her at home a week earlier and she was 13lbs) 10%
24.25 inches tall 42%
Head was in the 35%


She is wearing 3 month clothes very easily and some of the 3 month pants are already a little short on her.

She loves playing on her playmat and watching her sister run around.  She also enjoys warm baths and long walks (seriously!!).  She likes to talk a lot and smile even more.

Now if we could just get some hair to grow in and for the standing hair to lay down!


Here are some pictures of her this month!
